About this item
He's a friend ... with great benefits! As far as inventor Samantha O'Connel is concerned, work is better than food, a social life ... even sex. Of course, all it takes is a single phone call from Matt Wilkinson - the ridiculously hot object of her girlhood fantasies - for Sam to discover even she has some naughty needs that won't be ignored. Sam's biggest challenge is that while Matt is just as much a workaholic as she is, he's also a wealthy, sexy bachelor who could have any woman he wants. With the help of the cutting-edge "smart" apartment she designed, Sam might just be able to get deliciously and nakedly close to Matt. Close enough to show him that this nerdy brainiac can be his every fantasy ... even if it's only for one blazingly hot night.

Jo teaches writing at workshops across the country and on-line, and is a frequent guest speaker at writing conferences.

Jo lives in an incredibly rural area of Utah where her many rescue dogs have room to run and play and her rescue cats are determined to win the International Shedding Award. She spends an inordinate amount of time reading about how the brain works, listening to music and trying not to kill the basil. Jo's husband died of cancer on 13 June 2008, three years after they married, and whose medical bills are astronomical. Authors, editors, and bloggers have all donated a mess of items, from books to critiques to mentoring sessions to offer an item for the auction to benefit author Jo Leigh.
